Did you know…in the past three decades, there have been five solar eclipses in the US. Earth has experienced 33 solar eclipses since 2000. Below is some interesting information on what will take place during the eclipse:

Sharpening Shadows As the Sun dwindles to a thin crescent, shadows become much sharper. Look at your own shadow — notice how you can see the shadows of individual hairs on your head or arms.

Animal and Human Behavior As the sunlight dims, you may spot the local fauna acting in a peculiar manner. Many start to settle in as if night is falling. Notice the people around you — they’re likely more animated than any local wildlife!

Weather As totality nears, you may notice a perceptible drop in the temperature, and the wind may pick up or change direction.

Temperature The temperature will likely continue to cool slightly after totality concludes and begin to rise shortly thereafter. However, the change may be subtle and could be masked by a shift in wind speed and direction.

Photographing it Don’t waste your time photographing it. Totality is brief, and you won’t experience it again for years. Experienced, professional eclipse photographers will produce the best pictures, but only you will get your first-person experience.

What if I miss the eclipse? Despair not. There will be solar eclipses visible from parts of the contiguous U.S. on Oct. 14, 2023, and April 8, 2024. The one in 2024 will be a total solar eclipse visible from Texas to Maine. ... See MoreSee Less
